Senior Picture Day

Y. C. English 2301 Gibson 09/23/10 Self-Consciousness Weve all(prenominal) been self-conscious about manything we rottert change about ourselves at least once in our lives. Its an instinct to want some other hoi polloi to see you as the best you can be, or more- heedless of whether its the unfeigned you or not. In the story Senior notion Day by Michael Serros, a girl feels her appearance categorizes her in the eyeball of the public. In her case she looks Indian, and she considers this a negative physical trait to select inherited.It never bothered her until her selfish friend, Terri, used her Indian appearance against her in order to get at someone dislike her. If this wouldve happened to me in the fifth grade, I would be pinching my nose until senior year too. The reason I summon this work meaningful is why other people would also see to it it meaningful. Its something we can all relate to. As a gross example, height seems to be a common issue with males whenever theyr e short. In middle school this may not be a problem, further in high school this tends to become an issue when most boys live had their growth spurt when some ar tho not leaving to grow anymore.A guy is expected to be tall in some societies, probably because it is seen as more attractive and well lets face it we girls want to wear heels. From the story, having an Indian nose, I dont think it should bother anyone. Its not a disability so it wont affect your life. If the narrator had done anything more than just squeeze her nose because she felt uncomfortable, I wouldnt approve. I make why she did it. Being betrayed by her best friend wasnt the shock. The real eye opener for her was the fact that she could be disliked for such a facial feature.I personally dont like my chubby cheeks, so if anyone mentioned them I would probably be self-conscious for a few historic period or until someone told me otherwise and I actually believed them. Another guidance people can relate to the story is the part about being betrayed by a friend. This happens to everyone, with anything. Its just how we are we like to make ourselves better by hurting others. Personally its not my one- snip(prenominal) time, but Ive felt the effects. Just think about that time in gym class when you couldnt run as unfluctuating or werent so good at a merriment so your peers made fun of you.There are also circumstances when a different culture mixes in to a group of all the same. same(p) someone who always lived as high class but then gets relocated to a lower class neighborhood. The way they dress can change but where they come from doesnt change so they are discriminated against. Just like the narrator in the story, where you come from is something you cant change, no matter what. You really have to love yourself the way you are and not think too much about what other people think, if you dont youll find yourself squeezing your nose every day from the fifth grade to senior year picture day.
